A reckless youth was spouting grandiose claims here, intending not only to take over the entire Chinese Business Association but also to compete with the foreigners for the cotton market.
Not a single person believed that kid, they just signed a bet agreement with him, to double the profits of the Chinese Business Association within a year.
"As members of the Chinese Business Association, you know how massive it is and how difficult it would be to double the profits," Zhu Wencong paused.
The people present knew that the person he referred to was Zhu Wencong himself; he indeed spent a year to become the first leader of the Chinese Business Association.
Before him, the Chinese Business Association was just an ordinary merchant association with its core management being the Elders' Council, comprising the heads of various families.
